Waxing Lyrical

Artist conversations with the benefit of hindsight. Waxing Lyrical sees artists who aren't on the current promo treadmill sit down to tell their stories in their own words. No bullshit here. Thanks to NZOnAir Music.

To mark the upcoming JPS Experience Auckland show, songwriter Dave Mulcahy talks with former Rock and Roll Wire host Justin Redding about his time in JPSE, Superette and subsequent solo projects. Features part of a previously unheard JPS Experience live-to-air from their 1993 American tour.

"In the landscape of New Zealand music, one genre stands out: music by Maori artists, which is a solid cornerstone, and within itself powerfully diverse. One of the most distinctive, articulate and significant Maori voices is Moana Maniapoto who - first with Moana and the Moahunters and latterly as Moana & the Tribe - has taken her often politically conscious music to festivals across the world."
